“He (Mourinho) always wanted to win at any price and that shows in the way he goes about things,” Xavi was quoted as saying by goal.com.”I respect that philosophy but winning at any cost means you can’t stay true to a playing style. “For me, the means don’t always justify the ends. I have a lot of respect for him, he has achieved great things, but I see football in a different way to Mourinho,” the Spaniard added.
